De Wilde Ruimte 50 Jaar Maanlanding Ruimte-Emblemen Van De Hoofdredacteur
De Wilde Ruimte 50 jaar maanlanding Ruimte-emblemen Van de hoofdredacteur: De laatste jaren was de trend in de gedrukte media dat artikelen korter moesten, met meer nadruk op de presenta- tie, om vooral niet te veel te vragen van de drukbezette lezer die overal op internet snelle en makkelijk te consumeren informatie voorgeschoteld krijgt. Recent onderzoek laat echter zien dat het aantal artikelen van 3000+ woorden in Nederlandse kwaliteitskranten (lees NRC, Volkskrant), na jarenlang gedaald te zijn, de laatste tijd weer toeneemt. Blijkbaar is er toch behoefte bij lezers aan een extra laag in de Bij de voorplaat berichtgeving naast de 10-top lijstjes, korte nieuwsflitsen en tweets die volop op internet en social media te vinden zijn. Concept voor een volledig herbruikbare, bemande eentraps maan- Op het gebied van ruimtevaartnieuwsuitgaven is het niet lander. Mogelijk keren astronauten hiermee in de nabije toekomst anders.

[Lockheed Martin] professionele uitgaven zoals het onvolprezen ESA Bulletin. In de uitgave van februari 2018 werd op de achterste bladzijde mysterieus aangekondigd dat “The ESA Bulletin team are taking a short break in 2018. We’ll be back later in the year with a new communication experience for our readers” en daarna is er tot op heden niets meer van vernomen. In 2012 hebben we besloten dat Ruimtevaart gebruikt moet worden voor de verdieping en de nieuwsbrieven, direct mailings, website en social media voor het actuele nieuws en aankondigingen en deze aanpak is succesvol gebleken. -

1 SATELITES ARTIFICIALES. Capítulo 5º Subcap. 10 <> CRONOLOGIA DE LOS SATÉLITES ARTIFICIALES DE LA TIERRA. Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos. NO ESTÁN incluidos los llevados en vuelos tripulados, si bien se citan en el programa de satélites correspondiente y en el capítulo de “Cronología general de lanzamientos”. .SATÉLITE Fecha País Tipo SPUTNIK F1 15.05.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK F2 21.08.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 01 04.10.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 02 03.11.1957 URSS Científico VANGUARD-1A 06.12.1957 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 01 31.01.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1B 05.02.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 02 05.03.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1 17.03.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 03 26.03.1958 USA Científico SPUTNIK D1 27.04.1958 URSS Geodésico VANGUARD-2A -

Falcon-9 Home Launch Vehicles USA Falcon-9 family Falcon-9 v1.0 Falcon-9 v1.1(ex) (CASSIOPE) Falcon-9 v1.1 (Dragon CRS-3) (Dragon-QU) [SpaceX] [SpaceX] [SpaceX] Falcon-9 v1.2 (Iridium-NEXT 1) Falcon-Heavy (Tesla Roadster) [SpaceX] [SpaceX] Falcon-9 is a liquid fueled orbital launch vehicle for medium to heavy sized missions, which is developmened by SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.). It is techonologically based on the Falcon-1 launch vehicle. Both stages are Kerosene / LOX fueled. The rst stage, which is potentially reusable after recovery by parachutes (v1.0) or by powered landing (v1.1 and later), is powered by 9 of the SpaceX built Merlin-1C (v1.0) or Merlin-1D (v1.1) engines with regenerative cooling. The upper stage uses a single Merlin engine and will also be potentially reusable. The Falcon-9 is offered with a 5.2 m fairing. Launch site for low inclination launches is Cape Canaveral launch pad SLC-40. High inclination launches will launch from Vandenberg AFB. An additional launch site near Brownsville, Texas, is also under consideration. The Falcon-9 will also lift the Dragon space capsule for ISS cargo ights, which might be developed into a manned spacecraft.
